SAUL GERSHOWITZ ( Gertie ) Classical Course. Gertie took a trip to New York a while ago, and as a result was not seen in school for a few days. Let this be a warning to you, O butterflies of society, for the “Big City is a wicked, wicked place. LOUIS GIPSTEIN ( Gabby ) Classical Course. A man at the very pinnacle of knowledge—ready to fall off. One of these days, Gabby is going to take William J. Bryan’s place in Congress. Louie has been suspected of socialistic instincts, but, then, who wouldn't turn radical with all the fellows “pick-ing on him? JOSEPH D. GITLIN ( Yosef ) Debating Squad (2); Biology Club (4); Scientific Course. It has been said that Yosef’s continual tardiness is due to the way in which he dresses, but then tardiness at social affairs and a neat appearance denotes aristocracy. Joe’s one delight is to attend Chem class, where Mr. Laurence's sonorous voice soon lulls him into the realm of Morpheus. JOHN B. GRAY Classical Course. Johnny is the kind of fellow you can never get anything on. Just a regular guy, you know. But we often wonder why he insists on strolling by the Mystic Oral School in the presence of a certain young lady, whose name we refuse to disclose.

Bulkeley Annual 19 26 'I: O » i'- ©‘I v M HARRY EINHORN (“High Hat ) Classical Course; Potpourri (1) (2) (3) (4); “Regiment of Two (3); The Weasel” (3); The End of the Rope (4); President of the Dramatic Club (4). It's really surprising what a city like Leominster can do to a formerly shrinking-violet type of youth. Behold now, the result! In the next padded cell, beloved populace, the President of the Dramatic Club, the arduous lover on and off the stage, and the great bulging chest and head of our demure (?) lounge lizard! “Darby, or rather, “High Hat, is noted for three things: his susceptibility to the Siren of Groton, his mutual dislike of cans, and his marvelous acting of a leading part in The Poor Nut. ANGELO GADA (“Alligada ) Scientific Course. Niantic must be a fine place to live in because Gada always has a grin on his face. Although he is called Angelo now, his name in the next world will be O'Angel. However, do not be deceived by this appellation, for he is a perfect devil with the ladies. JOSEPH D. GAETANO (“Joe ) Baseball (1) (2) (3) (4); Junior Prom Committee; Editor of Junior Review (3); Commercial Course. Babe Ruth had better watch his P's and Q's when Joe starts in. His brilliant work on Bulkeley’s nine has won a high place in our esteem. We are sure that the only thing Joe enjoys better than smashing the “horsehide is attending the sixth period History class. NORMAN A. GEORGE (“Norm ) Classical Course. Quiet and unassuming? Yes! But charged with sound knowledge that makes those who know him respect him. That's Norm through and through. He wiggles such a pair of loose-jointed feet in Math that we are sure he is a Charleston hound shark, or some kind of a bird. BULKELEY

RALPH GREENE Commercial Course Gentle Reader, do not be deceived. Ralph's surname has not the slightest connection with his character. On the contrary, we find him anything but “green.” Ralph generally knows what he is talking about when he says anything. He is always ready to give a fellow a helping hand. MAURICE HENDEL (“Moish ) Orchestra (1); Debating Squad (1); “Regiment of Two” (3); ' Weasel'’ (3); Potpourri (3) (4); Vice President Dramatic Club (4); “Whole Town’s Talking ; Scientific Course. “Isn't that gentleman the famous actor, Mr. Mcighan? asked an interested lady. Naw,” said Gipstein, “he's neither of those; he’s 'Moish'. Maurice is the sort of fellow that production managers are looking for. His dramatic ability ranks among the first in the school. JOHN S. HICKEY (“Hick ) Pin Committee (I); Julius Caesar (3); Annual Board (4). They call him Hick, but do not run away with false impressions, for John is anything but a hick. He is one of those likables in whom one is willing to place his confidence. His literary ability and humor was sufficient to place him on the Annual Board. HARRIS HOWE ( Deacon ) Committee for Charles B. Jennings Memorial (3); Classical Course. They call him Deacon, but—well, we'll let the W. M. I. misses tell us how those magnificent curls of his entice them. Harris is a good boy, and we are sure that in due time he will contradict that adage concerning the wildness of ministers' sons, and make something really worth while of himself. BULKELEY
